Welcome!

I have no idea where this is going to take me, but I hope you enjoy what I have to share just as much as I enjoy sharing it.

PENNIES
I love saving money and have been using coupons for years. Hopefully, I can inspire you to start saving money and alert you to some tips and savings along the way. What do I think of TLC's Extreme Couponing? I hate it. Despise it. It is giving a bad name to couponers and making it even tougher for those of us that are honest in our couponing and don't clear shelves with 100 bottles of toothpaste we don't need. Two bottles of Wisk was all I wanted this week. Two bottles is not to much to ask for, is it?

PUPPIES
Animals, especially dogs, are the loves of my life. It's almost scary how much I adore my dogs. Belle is a rescue dog that came from Florida after a hurricane, and Laci isa rescue that was roaming the streets of Columbia. No offense to anyone, but I am strongly against breeding. There are so many dogs to adopt at shelters and resue agencies, why would you want to buy a dog? Call me crazy, but I also believe rescued animals have a greater appreciation for life and for you. They know they have it better with me now, and that makes me happy. Should I have gone to vet school to work with animals--yes. But, my life has taken me on a different track for now, and I am ok with that.

PONDERINGS
My "ponderings" started as an inside joke with some of my coworkers. I will warn you--some of them are weird enough to make me wonder about myself.  Let me warn you--I have a 35 minute commute to and from work, so I have a lot of pondering time. This morning, I caught myself thinking where is my life going? Where is my career going? I feel that it's time for a change, but is it in the plans God has for me? It's tough for me to accept some things that happen in my life, even though I know He is leading me on the right track and that I am on this specific track for a reason. Accepting things you don't expect or want is hard, but I trust Him. It may be wrong, but it will just take me a few days to accept this track. I know that I am so blessed in my life, and I just think about that. That makes things better! Some wine helps, too :)
On a lighter note, another pondering I had was wonder what it's like to be a sign turner for a construction crew. Getting a tan all day and not having a phone ring in your ear with fires to put out all day. Not to take their jobs lightly because I know they are hard workers and work in tough conditions, but a girl can wonder. I told you some of my ponderings were weird!
